Trouble with Gravity

<p>What is gravity? Nobody knows--and just about nobody knows that nobody knows. How something so pervasive can also be so mysterious and how that mystery can be so wholly unrecognized outside the field of physics is one of the greatest conundrums in modern science. But as award-winning author Richard Panek shows in this groundbreaking mind-bending book gravity is a cold case that's beginning to heat up.</p><p>In <em>The Trouble with Gravity</em> Panek invites the reader to experience this ubiquitous yet elusive force in a breathtakingly new way. Gravity Panek explains structures not only our bodies and our physical world but also our minds and culture. From our very beginnings humans' conceptions of gravity have been inextricably bound to our understanding of existence itself. As we get closer and closer to solving the riddle of gravity it is not only physics that is becoming clearer. We are also getting to know ourselves as never before.</p>
